Mack's Fish & Steak Bar & The Captains Table in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Dropped in for a takeaway on our way back to our campsite. Fish was delicious and the chips were amazing. Never tasted any quite like them before from a chippy, crunchy on the outside and fluffy potato in the middle . Possibly double fried or maybe tossed in seasoning/flour before frying. My mouth is watering just writing about them! Friendly fast service too. Little sit in place at the back if you don't want takeaway and a carpark at the side as well. Would thoroughly recommend Greg & Lou's. All other chippys will be compared to them from now on.

As this was the first time we had eaten in Greg & Lou's, we were not disappointed. We both chose Haddock and chips, along with one very tasty homemade tartare sauce and a curry sauce. They also do a choice of Cornish fish like Megrim too depending on availability. The meals arrived and my pictures don't really do them justice, they were both VERY good sized portions. One was literally Moby Dick on the plate. Both were beautifully cooked fish with delicious crisp batter. Chips were the best we have had in a long time and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Our service was very friendly and attentive with nothing being too much trouble for them. The restaurant area was very clean and bright with a lovely atmosphere, we both look forward to returning soon!

Finally made it over here (from Helston area) after hearing good things....got a takeaway, great friendly service and the food was top notch! No floppy sad looking fish in sight. Freshly cooked, crispy and the chips were something else! Had another chippy as my long standing number 1 but think I've now been swayed! Only wish I lived closer (probably for the best though 🐷)

This is the best fish and chip shop (with the most varied menu I have seen in any fish and chip shop) The most amazing chips are coated in what seems to be a very light batter. The online ordering is easy to use. I have always found the staff to be helpful and courteous even when the shop is very busy. Thank you Greg and Lou and please keep up the amazing puddings.

Lovely food, hot and plenty of choice, including vegetarian options. Will be back ! Chips came in three sizes which was great.

Hands down my favourite fish and chips. Fish is light and cripsy, chips soft inside and ever so lightly battered on the outside. Consistently high quality every time I visit. The staff are always efficient and organised so service is always smooth! What more do...

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had! Superb service with a friendly smile. Not sure how the chips are cooked but they’re not the normal bland rubbish I’ve been used to from all previous chippies. They’re more like chip-shaped roughed-up roast potatoes - fantastic! Both...

Fantastic friendly service, food was outstanding, loved it and would recommend in a heartbeat never had fish and chips as nice

Needed a big order for 9. Picked this after reading reviews for what's around and glad we did. Ordered online and turned up to find a reasonable size car park. Efficient execution of order and sustainably packaged. Fish and chips excellent, as were mushy peas....

Whilst looking for Fish & Chips tonight stumbled across this little gem, we have been in Cornwall for a week as holiday visitors to the area. The family totally enjoyed the takeaway, Cod & chips, Pie & chips & Burger & chips and would recommend...

Fish was dry, chips were mediocre. Sadly was not up to expectations. First time we had been. Will be going back to the usual next week.

My wife and I had takeaway from here at lunch time fish chips and curry fish chips and peas. The in our opinion quality has put them back into the top fish and chips in the Redruth Falmouth, Helston area, many thanks.

Just had another great take out,yet again. Keep it up. Lovely seafood share box,great chips,Mrs enjoyed her veggie rolls,chips and curry sauce.

Can I say enough good things about this place? Probably not but I’ll try! Finding vegan fish and chip places is hard. Whether they cook chips in beef fat, or fry with the fish, it’s a challenge getting good sexy chips. Greg and Lous not...

This is the third chippy we’ve tried, always on the lookout whilst on holiday in Porthtowan. It’s a little expensive but the best fish and chips I’ve had in the area so worth the money. Handmade cod fish cake was the best my partner had...

Haven't visited here for ages and did not disappoint. The best fish and chips anywhere in my opinion. The cod was cooked to perfection and no soggy batter, chips superb as always. This was our first takeaway since lockdown and was well worth the wait....

Found this amazing place on a one night stop over, we were not disappointed. Online ordering was a great idea, really easy. Food was waiting for us in allocated time slot, felt really safe and well thought out. The food, was without doubt the best...

Coming out of lockdown, we had not had fish and chips for ages and the online ordering is easy and the food even tastier. Our favourite fish and chips- awesome!

THE best fish and chips locally by far. As used by locals. Can't recommend highly enough. Vegans also supported very well.

If there's a better fish and chip shop, I've never been there. The food is superb, the speed of service would put McDonalds to shame. I know the secret of how they cook those chips, but won't reveal it here or they'll have to kill...

I have been coming to this chip shop since I was a child. Now with a family of my own it's still my favourite. We don't have a takeaway that often but I always come here even when rest of family choose pizza. Its usually...

Went for the first time since it was 'Macks'. Really thought it wouldn't be as nice because places normally aren't when they change hands. Portion was a bit small but other than that the fish and chips were lovely

Visited a few days after they reopened after a refurbishment. The menu has had an extensive overhaul, making it much more accessible to people of a veggy and vegan persuasion whilst keeping all the usual favourites you'd expect. It was reassuring to see that most...

Only discovered this place a few months ago. Very glad I did! . Now whenever I have a chippy I will go out of my way to get them from here everytime. Reasonably priced. Taste amazing everytime, great crispy chips. Always cooked well and quick...

Want excellent fish and chips? Go to mack's. Although you may need to wait because of the queue, its worth the wait!

I visited back in September and left a outstanding review as the fish was cooked to perfection And tonight's meal was also outstanding Great staff and outstanding fish and chips Congratulations you definitely have the magic touch Hope to see you again soon

Called in last night for fish and chips in the restaurant as we usually do if down that way and wasn’t disappointed again lovely meal with nice staff and lovely bright and clean surroundings the cod and chips were cooked to perfection I would recommend...

It’s always busy here and no wonder why, their fish and chips are delicious. The serving staff work like the wind whilst remaining friendly and focused. Well worth a visit

This is a really good chippy lovely staff really friendly always get greated with a smile and I have very fussy kids and they won't eat from any other chippy they do the best chips I have ever had and I always get a good...

Been going there for far more years than I can remember, and I have to agree with other reviews the chips have taken a turn for the worst, to the point they are burnt up hard bits and you have to pick a few out...

Been coming to Macks for as long as I can remember and have never had a bad one until the other day. Nothing wrong with the fish but the chip portion was so small and the chips were no way as nice as they used...

Family over from the States and they just went crazy for these fish and chips ...they ordered them at least 3 times whilst they were here.

All's I can say is outstanding We had fish and chips here last night I had large cod and chips and I can't remember when I had a bit of cod cooked to perfection like this was It tasted great Thank you Next time I'm...

These chips are the best I have ever had .the fish is amazing and the curry sauce to die for only used takeaway so far but cant fault at all only say go try you will be amazed

Its been a while since we visted and the onwership/manager seems to have changed The car park is as tricky as ever but service was swift and efficient Good tasty food with generous portion sizes, quite an extensive menu too Recommended

Went here for Saturday night dinner with a mate, and sat in their spacious and really clean restaurant. It’s obvious by the busy nature of the car park and takeaway booth it’s a popular place. And very quickly we saw why... Friendly service for starters,...

Jumped on trip advisor to find a well rated chip shop local to Porthtowan. This place had high reviews and we can see why. The restaurant is simple but clean and the staff were kind and attentive. There was a good selection of food and...

After looking on trip advisor trying to decide where to get a fish & chip takeaway we decided on Macks. Glad we did, the food was unbelievable. Large portions and well cooked and it goes to show if the chef is eating the food you...

Excellent, top quality fish and chips, at a fair price. Particularly good, crisply-fried chips. Glad I found this place!

My first visit to this restaurant. You can book a table and this is advisable as it is gets very busy. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is a good selection of food - especially fish. There are quite a number of desserts on...

Beautiful fish and chips, the chips are crispy and yet fluffy and their batter is crispy and light. Service was excellent with lovely staff. Best we've had in ages

The best fish and chips, burgers, sausages and many other items they serve. My 10month old had some fish and chips for the first time tonight and absolutely loved it!

We love the fish and chips from Mack's they are slightly different because the chips have a light crispy coating. The fish is always cooked to perfection and the portions are large. The staff are always friendly and efficient, so even when it is busy...

The best fish and chips I have had for a very long time. Every mouthful was superb. I'll most certainly recommend to anyone wanting a great F&C supper. Great value for money.

Have been coming here for absolute years. Haven't found a better chippy yet. Unfortunately I live a little far out now so sometimes have to visit other chippys to then generally be disappointed and wish I'd driven to Macks!

Always generous portion size crispy fish and chips. Chips battered then fried. Good range of other stuff as well.

What a joy, fish and chips can be really horrible, but my friend Antoinette took me there and it was just great. The fish/portion were more then generous, with a nice crispy, fluffy batter, perfectly cooked and not greasy at all. The chips were perfect,...

I’ve just been and ordered codrow and chips but no batter on the cod row which was no trouble for the two chefs X The two young ladies who served me could not have been more helpful and professional Ps the food was great Thanks

Always have good food from here the cod is always well cooked, they are normally at least reasonably busy so in my experience food is constantly cooked and over the counter quickly, never had remotely dry cod ever. It is sometimes a case of being...

Got fish and chips from here tonight because my local was shut. What a waste of money and got to be the worst fish and chips i have ever had. Spent £27 and most of it went in the bin or to the dogs. Large...

We visit Macks nearly every week, and eat in the restaurant. The fish of the day deal is £7.00. An absolute bargain, huge fish, and either curry sauce, mushy peas or, bread and butter included as well as a hot drink. We travel 12 miles...

I went to Macks chip shop today and joined a queue of about 4 - 5 people in this time I seen multiple people walk through the door straight to the counter and get served instantly upon enquiring I was told there was a queue...

Best chip shop in Redruth, they also have a cafe out the back you can go sit in. They do a steamed fish option for those who are gluten free too.

chips here are done in beef dripping so totally delicious,fast service and never been disapointed,good portions and lovely white fresh fish,ten out of ten

I smelled my way to your fish and chip restaurant I was going to get a pasty but my noses directed me to your fish and chip restaurant but unfortunately you had just closed but came later when you opened I went back later and...

Fish and chips were good but the service took a very long time and it was very expensive for two "large" fish and chips.

Very Rarely had a bad experience here in the many times I have been Definitely the best chips I have ever had, and the burgers are delicious. Highly recommended

This is a lovely place to eat. In our case Fish and chips. They were very tasty and great value especially the Fish of the day deal. Deserts were also very reasonably priced. You do now have to book to dine in the restaurant of...

Popped into Mac's Restuarant only by the off chance as not booked and managed too get a table. Gave this Resturant 5 star as the staff were very friendly and helpful. Good efficient service and the food was delicious. Will definately be returning and recommend...

Having had a couple of takeaways from here before, we decided to sit in on friday 7th September. The food was amazing to taste, the portions just right and very reasonably priced. We didnt wait very long at all for the food, and the customer...

We were camping nearby and happened to stop here for lunch. Oh my days, the chips are to die for. I don't know what they do but all were golden and crispy. We have found the best chippy by far! We'll 100% be back next...

Camping near Redruth, and found this gem of a place. Had an amazing take away of fish and chips, not tasted anything like this before,mother were fabulous. Wish our local fish and chip shop knew how to cook like these guys! Thank you 🙂

Absolutely proper fish & chips! The chips are amazing, they have a teensy bit of batter in & are always super crispy & delicious (plus cooked in beef dripping - if you're veggie, they can fry in sunflower oil to order, so call ahead) & fresh fish, cooked spot on. Fabulous mushy peas, they do their own & there is a little bit of sugar in there for extra flavour. My son & I usually have a standard fish each & share a large chips (see photo) & it's more than enough. All in all a top experience - I've lived in Redruth for 6 years & this is definitely, far & away the best fish & chip shop in Redruth or surrounding area

We recently visited family in redruth and visited twice while we were there. The first time we ate in the restaurant the service was excellent and the food was amazing freshly cooked a good variety of dishes not just normal chip shop food, good size...

We had a family meal in the restaurant area. Great chips and we all had something different, veggie burger, sausage, steak and fish, all were perfect. The table service was very good. Good value, Highly recommended.

Used to always go to morrish's but was reccomended Mack's and it certainly didn't disappoint. The cod was delicious and perfectly cooked and the chips were out of this world. Had a really great crunch to them. Will be coming here again.

We came to macks on a busy sat eve,the waiting staff were very helpful and arranged a table as there were 6 of us. We took advantage of the steak offer and other family members had steamed cod and the large cod and chips. The chips were to die for. Would cetainly visit them again and tell people we know.
